Nose
Delicate yet layered, with aromas of fresh orchard fruits such as pear and apple, interwoven with floral notes of heather and honeysuckle. Hints of vanilla, almond, and a soft citrus zest add complexity, alongside a faint herbal undertone characteristic of Lowland malts. Delightful aroma.
Palate
Light yet richly textured, offering flavors of honeyed malt, green apples, and soft caramel. Subtle notes of toasted oak, dried grass, and a touch of spice—nutmeg and white pepper—emerge as it develops, delivering an elegant and balanced profile. Firm, powerful, with a well-balanced attack giving equal footing to aromas of peat, smoke, and spices.
Finish
Long and refined, with lingering notes of gentle oak, sweet malt, and a whisper of citrus, leaving a clean and refreshing aftertaste. Quite rich and lovely smooth texture.
